Heritage Grand Perast by Rixos has become an immersive resort destination offering guests a luxury experience. To mark the occasion, a signing ceremony took place at the hotel, attended by the Prime Minister of Montenegro Dr. Dritan Abazović, and Chief Business Officer of Rixos Francois Baudin. This milestone marks Accor and Rixos’ first hotel in the country.
Following the restoration and renovation of the palace, the present hotel is composed of four buildings — Smekja, Jadran, Grado and Teodo — offering 130 rooms, including eight duplex rooms, a royal suite and royal duplex suite.

Heritage Grand Perast is now home to a diverse range of restaurants and bars, including Panoramic, a restaurant located on the first floor of Smekja Palace; Piazza, a restaurant serving a range of á la carte dishes; and three seafront terraces including Riva, situated next to the outdoor swimming pool. The hotel offers a spa with a 60-foot indoor heated swimming pool, a hammam sauna and ice fountain, and a private beach dock serving hotel guests cocktails and snacks.
The former palace is one of 16 preserved palaces in Perast, a picturesque coastal town on Bay of Kotor. The hotel is surrounded by breathtaking views of mountains and crystal-clear waters, a prime location on the shore of the Adriatic Sea. Its Baroque architecture is a tribute to the culture and history of the idyllic location from which it is named.

Heritage Grand Perast by Rixos offers an immeasurably rich heritage thanks to the ambience of the modern-age Republic of Venice and is ideal for travelers looking for a luxurious and historic stay in Montenegro, featuring traditional décor and elegant furnishings complementing the town’s historic architecture.
Additionally, the hotel’s location in Perast allows guests to easily explore the town’s rich cultural heritage, including its well-preserved Baroque-style buildings and historic churches. The hotel’s panoramic terrace is a popular choice for events, as it offers stunning views of the bay and the surrounding landscape.

Heritage Grand Perast by Rixos is a 20-minute drive from town of Kotor, also a UNESCO World Heritage site that includes Perast, and is easily accessible from Tivat Airport in Montenegro, located about 12 miles away. The hotel is just 35 miles, about 1.5 hours, from the larger airport in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

May 23, 2025Relax, Rejuvenate and Heal at StolenTime
At the namesake luxury, 5-star all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia, the concept of “stolen time” used to be reserved for couples escaping to canoodle, reconnect and perhaps rekindle in sumptuous accommodations during a romantic getaway on the lush Caribbean island. But when StolenTime by Rendezvous rebranded in late 2022 to welcome all adult guests and focus more on wellness, the philosophy expanded to encompass self-reflection, personal growth and enrichment. After all, time is our most precious commodity, one that’s finite and too quickly slips through our grasp; we need to find those moments that matter and make them count.

May 21, 2025Hotel Nice Beau Rivage Review
In the city Henri Matisse once called home — and where Musée Matisse holds his largest collection — Hotel Beau Rivage has a special connection with the artist, who first visited the hotel in 1916 and painted famous sea views from his room 89 in 1917. Today, framed Matisse prints — many brightly colored cut-out collages from the artist’s JAZZ collection — decorate its walls. Hotel guests also benefit from a partnership with the museum.
